Giving Barnum His Turn.

And here in the old Park hotel oc-
CURED the famous trick played on Bar.
mum in Tom Higginson's barber shop,
which was in the basement, where
there is a barber shop now and has
been for thirty years. Tom was a
wag and his shop was a famous local
institution.
"rom, cant ! get shaved right
awayi" the great Snowman said as he
bounced into the shop.
"Guess not said Tom, "all the
chairs are full and people are waiting, u
Cant get any one to give me bis
turn I" Barnum asked.
"You might try that Irishman."
1t was a marvellous Irishman that
was referred to- He looked as if he
had been waiting for a barber all his
life, he was so unkempt and shaggy
about the head and face. Barnum
bought him off by promising to pay
his bill while in the BARRIERS hands.
Tom shaved the Irishlnan and whis
pered in his ear as he shaved. He told
him he might as well get his hair cut,
and then that he had better have a
shampoo. After that he sent him back
for bath, and, catching him when be
came out, got him to have his hair
curled and his mustache dyed. He
didn't look anything like the same
lrishman. The bill amounted to SIS
and odd cents. Barnum paid it and
was delighted with the joke. He had
picture made showing the Cslt as he
came in and as he went out, and that
picture went all over the world.-JUL-

Farm and Garden Notes.

An average egg weighs about 1000
grains, divided as follows Shell 107,
white GOA, and yelk 2S9.
Fine butter is luxury that will al
ways be we'll paid for aud should cost
no more to produce than poor butter.
Keep the ground about newly-set
fruit trees clean and mellow for dis
tance of at least six feet from the trees.
Persistent layers are apt to have
thin shelled eggs. Milk and wheat
middlings mixed have been recon-
mended as q remedy.
All farmers whose object is to pro-
duce Especial CROP should also raise
all the small truck necessary for liberal
home consumption.
Eggs are profitable the year round
on the farm, for when prices are low
est the cost of production and labor in.
volved are correspondingly less.
1t is the appearance of goods that
sells them. Nice, large, fat, plump,
white turkeys, ducks, chicks or geese
always bring outside prices.
The most successful shepherd of the
fniure will have his mutton on the
market as regularly and in as good
condition as his wool. This same man
will make both products as good as
possible.
1t is said there are over 1000 varie-
ties of the apple cultivated in Europe,
its growth extending from thirty eight
to sixty degrees, though the best fruit
is grown between the thirty-eighth
parallel and the forty second.
"Who makes the profits out of your
orchards T. excitedly asks rural cor
respondent. We are not sure, but we
rather fancy it is the small boy who
surreptitously visits the orchard some
where between dusk and dawn. He
has the most fun out of it anyhow. -
Graphic.
If the wool of sheep becomes wet it
dries very slowly and only by chilling
the animal through. Shelter from rain
and snow, especially the former, is
therefore more important than protect
ion fIom cold. If a sheep is chilled so
as to give it cold or fever, the fibre of
the wool is injured.
Potatoes do well on corn land that
has been manured for the corn crop.
Good sod land can elso be used. A
deep, mellow seed-bed should be secur-
ed by deep p,owing and thorough pull
verizing Manure and moisture are
essentials. Old stable manure can be
plowed in. Some of the best crops are
raised with commercial fertilizers.
